She's Leaving Home |
| Wedn’sday morning at five o’clock |
| As the day begins |
| Silently closing her bedroom door |
| Leaving the note that |
| She hoped would say more |
| She goes down |
| The stairs to the kitchen |
| Clutching her handkerchief |
| Quietly turning the backdoor key |
| Stepping outside she is free |
| She |
| (we gave her most of our lives) |
| Is leaving |
| (sacrificed most of our lives) |
| Home |
| (we gave her ev’rything |
| Money could buy; |
| bye bye) |
| Something inside that way always denied |
| For so many years |
| She’s leaving home; |
| bye bye |
| Father snores as his wife |
| Gets info her dressing gown |
| Picks up the letter that’s lying there |
| Standing |
| Alone at the top of the stairs |
| She breaks down and cries to her husband |
| «daddy, our baby is gone» |
| Why would she treat us so thoughtlessly |
| How |
| Could she do this to me? |
| She (we never thought of ourselves) |
| Is leaving |
| (never a thought of ourselves) |
| Home |
| (we struggled all our lives to get by; bye bye) |
| Something inside that was |
| Always denied for so many years |
| She’s |
| Leaving home; |
| bye, bye |
| Friday morrning at |
| Nine clock she is far away |
| Waiting to keep the appointment she made |
| Meeting a man from the motor trade |
| She (what did we do that was wrong) |
| Is having (we didn’t know it was wrong) |
| Fun (fun is the one thing |
| That money can’t buy; |
| bye bye) |
| Something inside that was always |
| Denied for so many years |
| She’s leaving home; |
| bye, bye |
